Thanks Johannes

I happily agree in principle with you.  Yet, I have long sought to remember
the observation of the early 20th century Oxford philosopher Alfred North
Whitehead, who said something along the lines of:

Seek simplicity and distrust it.

And there is always Albert Einstein who agreed with you when he said:

Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not one bit simpler.

...just a bit of ancient commentary for the morning caffine break...

warmest thanks,

I feel you are asking a very reasonable question about how to proceed with

everything is more of less complete.

 

I think I'm asking for both. As everybody knows, I firmly reside in the
"light-weight but powerful" camp, whether that be protocols or legalese ;-)
It may be nobody knows how to make it have less weight (including myself),
but that doesn't mean nobody should raise the question of whether there is a
way to do that.

 

Cheers,
